Sunday = complete sit on my butt in my pajama’s until I was forced to get dressed in order to get groceries day. I feel soooo very tired too. Why does that always seem to happen when I allow myself to rest? I watched a lot of TV. I washed not one dish. I did 0 loads of laundry. The kitchen is a mess and I need clean workout clothes for the upcoming week. Am I worried or stressed about this?? NOPE. I guess I needed to sit on my butt chill out and watch Cupcake Wars, Chopped and whatever else I watched today. I did get in a super short nap when Matt and the kids went to the gym. I was not sure if I actually slept, but the puddle of drool on the couch pillow was all the evidence I needed. 😉
When I finally got dressed in regular clothes at 6:30 PM, Miles was quick to notice. ” Mom, you finally put clothes on!” Can’t get anything passed that one……
I am still feeling my Friday workout. Mostly in my chest! Yesterday’s run was really a recovery run due to my low heart rate. It was probably a good thing as this week will really be the start to my crazy teaching schedule. I was to start it last week, but it was a false alarm apparently and the craziness will in fact, start tomorrow. If I am counting correctly I will be instructing 9 classes next week ( although 4 of those are 90 minutes so I usually count those as 2…so 13 classes if you want to get all technical..). Or 585 minutes worth. Or 9 hours and 45 minutes of teaching. Oh boy. Kinda wish I did not break it down in that fashion…… 🙂 I will survive!! I am learning how to reign it in while I instruct some of my classes. That might include teaching/coaching off of the bike or just not pushing as hard or not adding a lot of resistance when I teach. Personally, teaching off the bike is hard for me. I am trying though and i KNOW that some of the best instructors do this a lot. It can be a very effective way to teach and as an instructor it’s my duty to stay healthy and injury free. I won’t be much good to my class ( or my family) with mono or an injury…… I am working on it!
